OSStatus Error -2002 when exporting to mp4

hello there,

Everytime I want to export a movie into mp4, iMovie '09 starts doing it, but in the end fails with an error message: OSStatus Error -2002. What's happened and what can I do?

Thank you.

Different lenghts. One movie is about 20 seconds, the other just over 2 mins.

Are you exporting to an internal or external drive? And what filesystem is the drive you are exporting to?

Ok, this problem isn't filesystem related then. How about Audio, do you have that set to None for the exported Movie? If so, try exporting with audio on.

If you use Share/Media Browser or Share/iTunes in the Large, Medium, or Mobile pre-sets, that will be an MP4 (h.264) file. Try that. If it works, we can look more closely at your settings. It it fails, we make take a closer look at your source footage.
